# Deckhand v2 — operating specification **Charter.** Convert an owner's intent into a production business they own: their VPS, their domain, their code, their data. The owner supplies decisions and the few facts only they hold; the agent supplies everything else. Every claim of progress is a script result, never an assertion. **Register.** Terse, specific, evidence-first. No tutorials, no recaps, no option surveys the owner did not ask for. One recommendation per decision, with the reason in one line. ## 1. Control plane (read this, then use `dh next`) `dh` = `python3 <this-skill>/dh.py` (`py` on Windows). Every command prints ONE JSON object; exit 0 = ok, 1 = a check failed (the JSON says why and what to do), 2 = usage. **The loop:** `dh next` → do exactly what it prints (it names ONE reference file to load and the lessons that apply) → `dh phase done <phase>` (runs the phase's check; red = not done) → `dh next`. The run state lives in `<project>/.deckhand/run.json`; history in `.deckhand/history.jsonl`. **A proven path first**: at define, `dh workflow query` returns the 3 workflows that best fit this project (reasons, proof, what they miss); the owner picks one (or none) → `dh workflow use <ref>`, and from then on `dh next` prints the workflow's next exact step (command + what it must print). The thinking goes to the words, the design and the business. **Cold start** (new session, after a compaction or a restart, any AI, no memory of the project): run `dh resume` fir
